    Ok here goes: I think i've copped a virus or something, it's deleted , Limewire and all my files that went with it and it wont let me re-download it as it says it already exists so when i over write it, it downloads then operates for a second then doesnt work, (i get the hour glass symbol then nothing) it also will not let me play music on my Windows media player. Now if anyone can recomend a cheap genius then i would be grateful. t,i,a. (dunno) (seestars)

    What error message do you get when you try and play music on media player?</p>

    If I was you, I wouldn't bother with Limewire anyway, full of spyware and the like

    first of all download avg free and see if you have a virus, no point trying to fix anything if the cause is still there. If no virus found then google your problem, it's unlikely you're the first to have this problem and there will be a fix out there somewhere.
